Genocide scholar Taner Akcam on Gaza. “For those of us working on the Armenian Genocide, the discourse around Gaza feels like déjà vu. There is not a single argument offered today by Israel & its defenders that was not already deployed by the Ottoman-Turkish state more than a century ago.”

Thank you to @gothamist.com and reporter Arun Venugopal for covering the Armenian Genocide issue today and the fact that Mayor Adams remains silent.

Most Americans, including Republicans, don't think Trump should control the nation's museums.

So last year NYC Mayor Eric Adams was indicted for accepting bribes from the Turkish government to ignore the Armenian Genocide. lamag.com/news/feds-ny...

Trump didn't use the word "Genocide" in his April 24th statement on Armenian Remembrance Day, but used the euphemism "Medz Yeghern." And all this after Biden acknowledged the Genocide in 2021. This is a red flag. Genocide denial?

Since January, 213 people have been detained at the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit. 90% of those abducted are there because they made a wrong turn and drove onto the bridge by accident. www.npr.org/2025/04/24/n...

A group of descendants of Armenian Genocide survivors gathered today in Union Square #nyc to lay flowers at the memorial grove to remember the martyrs and the continuing fight for justice & recognition of the genocide by Turkey & Azerbaijan, both of which still fund denial of the historical event.

Dear @karenattiah.bsky.social, Please consider sharing the petition demanding Mayor Adam’s unequivocally recognize the Armenian Genocide like previous mayors have. Thank you for your always incredible insights. chng.it/5xPPJxH5Lf

Every year a new thing to fight around the Armenian Genocide. The fact that the world still allows Turkey to get away with denial means that others believe that denying genocide has no repercussions. This is exhausting.

Dear @jamellebouie.net, Please consider sharing the newly made petition demanding that Mayor Adams unequivocally recognize the Armenian Genocide after not releasing a system the last few years allegedly because of Turkish pressure. Your voice would mean a lot. chng.it/5xPPJxH5Lf

Please SIGN and SHARE this petition that asks NYC Mayor Adams to unequivocally recognize the Armenian Genocide after last year's federal indictment that stated that days before the 2022 Remembrance a Turkish official sought assurances that Adams would refrain from making any statements about it.

Who wants to bet the new gov't of Syria, headed by a religious zealot, will no longer recognize the Armenian Genocide because of Turkey and Israel's influence on the new government? I guess we'll see tomorrow. Syria is (was?) one of the only countries in West Asia to recognize the Armenian Genocide.

I saw this graffiti yesterday and I’m still thinking about it because it’s chilling. There are always beneficiaries of genocide and lifestyle reflects that.

The city repeatedly asked the Justice Department to identify alleged antisemitic incidents. The Justice Department never responded. Now the meeting is canceled. Seems like more people need to be calling the Trump administration's bluffs.

Hey, liberal apologists in the West for Israel, your fave government is no longer designating any of Gaza to be 'safe'. Good job shilling for a genocide, hope you sleep well at night!

I was at the Armenian Genocide memorial in Yerevan last week. The museum there does an excellent job narrating how yes, there was widespread armed Armenian resistance against Ottoman repression before the genocide—and it was still a genocide

I really love the Reverberations exhibition at the Ford Foundation. Curated by Brian Johnson and Silas Munro, it considers design history that includes ALL people.
